Chapter 102: Starting from Today to recite big topics, Yue Men
Chapter 102
In order to live more comfortably in prison, Shen Yue had a new goal - make big money by winning competition prizes.
In theory, making money through competition rewards was feasible, but Shen Yue soon realized it was easier said than done after she started studying.
Those competition questions were completely different from the ones she could solve by rote memorization!
She had already memorized the foundational knowledge, but application was the real problem.
During lessons, Niu Kaihuai would usually give sample questions even when teaching beyond the syllabus. As long as Shen Yue followed the solving steps of the sample question, she could easily figure out new questions using the same method. Even if the new question was a variation that required her to think around corners, Shen Yue could still solve it with her own ability.
But competition questions were different. Shen Yue was certain she would not be able to think her way around competition questions.
After being thrashed by five questions in a row, Shen Yue put down her pen and started praying as a better alternative to giving up.
Seeing Shen Yue who was previously enthusiastic about making big money suddenly lose motivation, Qing Xiaoyu curiously came over and asked, "What's wrong? Can't solve the questions?"
Shen Yue nodded. It wasn't just being unable to solve them, she had no idea how to even start on the questions.
It was like she had ten thousand knowledge points in her brain but didn't know which ones to apply to solve the question.
In layman terms, she lacked intelligence.
Qing Xiaoyu took a look at the question Shen Yue was working on, and quickly started writing out the solution steps.
She passed the answer to Shen Yue, "Take a look and see if you can understand it. Ask me again if there's anything you don't understand."
Shen Yue took back her workbook. After reading through quickly, she said, "I understand now."
Qing Xiaoyu had just picked up her pen when she heard Shen Yue's words. For a moment, she wondered if Shen Yue was deliberately messing with her. But on second thoughts, this was Shen Yue who was too lazy for such tricks. So Qing Xiaoyu casually wrote another question using similar knowledge points and passed it to Shen Yue, "Do this question again to consolidate your learning."
Looking at Shen Yue doing questions in front of her, Qing Xiaoyu heaved a deep sigh.
Judging by Shen Yue's current situation, it seemed difficult for her to win prizes. She definitely could not solve unfamiliar questions encountered during competitions.
Just as Qing Xiaoyu was thinking if there were other ways to earn money, she suddenly realized an issue.
Shen Yue could not solve unfamiliar question types... Then if she changed her thinking, Shen Yue would definitely be able to solve questions of types she had seen before.
In other words, as long as Shen Yue had seen enough variety of question types, theoretically she would have a high chance of hitting the right types during competitions. And if she encountered the right types, she would definitely be able to solve them.
With this thought, Qing Xiaoyu passed Shen Yue a stack of past competition questions that she had attempted during her Olympiad days. She instructed Shen Yue, "Shen Yue, I've written down most of the solutions to questions in this book. For those without solutions, check the answers provided at the back. Memorize all the questions in this book when you get home later. Can you do that?"
Qing Xiaoyu was just tentatively asking because she knew Shen Yue's after-school routine best - eating, sleeping, watching her brother. Getting her to study at home was impossible. Reading trashy novels at home was more likely.
So after saying all that, she was already 80% prepared to be rejected.
"Okay, I'll remember. Thank you, Sister Xiaoyu."
As Shen Yue spoke, she reached out both hands to receive the thick stack of questions from Qing Xiaoyu. Her expression was fully earnest, not a hint of perfunctoriness, only sincerity.
In that instant, Qing Xiaoyu who had thought Shen Yue was only joking about making money suddenly sensed her determination.
So Shen Yue was serious after all.
Just then, after gauging the thickness of the book, Shen Yue remarked, "Luckily there aren't too many questions. I should still have time to play for two hours after memorizing them today. Sister Xiaoyu, shall we watch the drama together later?"
Qing Xiaoyu who was just moved by Shen Yue's determination: ......
"Just call me after you've memorized them... Oh yes, it's the 15th episode today. That second female lead, I'm telling you she really gets on my nerves..."
As Qing Xiaoyu chatted with Shen Yue about the drama, she gradually forgot the brief dissonance she felt from Shen Yue earlier.
